About 2015ish? Came to a stop. CR "changed" perhaps is the right word.
They were doing fewer and fewer product reviews per magazine. That did not bother me. What did? I fell out of thier demographics--if that is the right word.

Does anyone have a good deal for their website where they keep the "good stuff", ie the reviews?

Used to have more detailed info and breakdown of each product's pluses, minuses in the charts, but they're slowly ruining it by either listing only a few items recommended in a category, or reducing the level of detail in the charts.
Not anywhere as bad as popular science magazine (1980s vs today's trash), but you can't just use their reviews as the main single source for decisions anymore.

Sites with more details data and reviews to add to cr reviews to make a better decision
Headphones/TVs - rtings.com head-fi.org
Cars - car and driver, autoweek, edmunds
Laptops - Notebookcheck.net
Tires - tirerack.com
Auto oil - Bob is the oil guy forums
Appliances - homedepot amd lowes
Power tools, mowers - protoolreviews, YouTube (protoolreviews, project farm etc)
Cameras - dpreview.com imaging-resource.com popco.net
Batteries, flashlights - candlepower forums
And the quick amazon peek at reviews for specifics, although plagued with fake reviews.

Worth the library card emag and online access, but not paying given how many magazines are free to read online from libraries - moved to the tablet for reading and corona lockdown cemented that habit.
